Oukitel WP35

Technical specifications

Pros:
- Sound
- Display
- Camera (by Oukitel standards)
- General visual impressions of the device's design. It is quite elegant.

Cons:
- Size. When buying such a large-sized Oukitel device, you generally need to know what you are signing up for. The devices are large and heavy. Unfortunately, this one is too long. Even being tall and having large trousers, the phone does not fit in the pocket length-wise and is very unwieldy.
- The protrusion near the rear cameras. Poorly conceived and making it very difficult to hold the device.
- Lock/power button. Positioned slightly below the volume control in a very impractical place, difficult for the thumb to reach. For me, this is the most significant flaw. I have not encountered this in other models.
- Lack of Android optimization for the display. There is much to say. Using the software is simply tiring and unrefined. It is as if the software scaling was insufficient for this type of device.
- Similarly, YouTube launches on 1/3 of the display vertically. Strange.

In summary, the components and device are of excellent quality for the price. However, one gets the impression that the manufacturer did not even test this phone for an hour themselves. If they had, they would not have released such an uncomfortable device. I would not buy it a second time.

@24kg What kind of opinion is that, saying the phone is too big and the bulge is uncomfortable? You knew exactly what you were choosing, didn't you? And even if you did not have the opportunity to hold it physically, every specification lists the dimensions right at the beginning. By comparing it with what you already have, you can determine if those dimensions are still within the range of personal usability. However, the most valuable part of your opinion to me is the mention of the unpolished system. This shows once again that a little-known Chinese manufacturer does not pay much attention to software. Since it is a niche brand, you cannot count on community support either...

@rafnov I thought these reviews were for phone owners to share their observations about the devices, not for commenting on what one dislikes in other people's reviews.
1. Shortly after its release, the phone was not available anywhere in Poland to see in person, so the purchase was made without seeing the product beforehand. This is the risk of purchasing a Chinese product from Alibaba. I also could not return it, because to find out what the device is like, one must use it.
2. No, that bulge was not visible as a significant element anywhere.

From the website:
Dimensions: 172.2*81*14.9mm
Weight: 360g

On the website, you can also see a photo of the phone with dimensions. There is no information there about the several millimeter bulge within the circle that makes up the rear camera. Over time, I have become accustomed to carrying it, but I do not change my mind that this phone is very uncomfortable for daily use.
I am very sorry, the review by rafnov should not have passed moderation at all. Such accidents unfortunately happen sometimes. Normally, I would probably have deleted it, but since you are responding to it substantively, User, I will leave it, as context would be missing. Once again, I apologize and best regards. (jf)

The phone is heavy, but it is not surprising. After all, it has a very high capacity battery. I have not checked how long it lasts yet because I have had it for about two weeks and the battery has not dropped below 50%, even though I use the phone as a network access point at work. Loud ringtones, clear sound, the latest Android, night vision, levels, compasses, and various extra features :) Compared to the previous one (Moto E7 Power), it is like comparing a small car and a good old Japanese off road pickup. I have a different charger from Hama and it charges relatively quickly (38W charger). Factory rubber case and hard screen protector. I recommend it.

I will be brief and to the point. On aliexpress, I paid about 800 PLN including shipping. I switched from redmi12. Everything in the w35 is better. In a phone, I primarily value durability and battery life. For me, the weight is not an issue, and personally, I do not like bright screens, so this is not a disadvantage for me. It takes photos more slowly, but they are incomparably better than those of its predecessor. These are my impressions; I recommend it. I play games on the phone occasionally because I have a computer for gaming. I will also add that this is my third oukitel with which I am satisfied.

I will also comment on the software. I do not have any problems here. Strange. As for the buttons, it is probably also a matter of comfort and habit because for me they are perfectly positioned. Perhaps my clothes are also strange, as it fits into normal pockets and I do not have any problems here either.

It is perfectly suitable for work, the bottom speaker is a bit quiet and the charging is slow, but the rest is sufficient for an average person who does not play games and needs a relatively fast rugged phone with a good battery, mainly for work, I recommend it.
